What Are Some Examples of Imperialism Today

What are some examples of imperialism today? How is it different or similar from the past? Explain

Today imperialism has ethnic conflicts intensifying and it's crazy how this world is getting. Not everybody is realizing what is happening though but the little problems from fifty years have increased almost rapidly. No matter what state a person visit they will have imperialism happening because the creation of unequal economic, cultural, and territorial relationships between states. Imperialism is defined as the policy or practice of forming and maintaining an empire and controlling the raw materials and markets of that empire. The difference between them is what background they come from, like economic imperialism, cultural imperialism, military imperialism and political imperialism. There are many examples of imperialism today like the United States is helping/supporting Israel with the problems of war, financial organizations run by first world countries, and Kony 2012. Kony 2012 is a video which shows a man pacing back and forth on the sidewalk, naked in broad daylight, certain to raise questions over the viability of Russell's Invisible Children group. It is accused of terrorizing northern Uganda for two decades and is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. The man in the video is accusing of abducting children to use as fighters and sex slaves. All this is sad and should be stop. Don't do unto others what you don't want them to do to you

...Cultural imperialism is a multi-faceted concept, a collection of possible causes with a common effect - the tendency towards homogenization of cultures. This essay will explore the arguments behind the possible causes, specifically, the notions of forced acculturation as opposed to the voluntary embrace of Western culture. It will refer to theories of post-colonialism and cultural hegemony.
First, it’s necessary to try to define the term imperialism. Lenin held that imperialism was the highest stage of capitalism, an unavoidable consequence of the financial might and monopolisation by the western world: “Imperialism is a specific historical stage of capitalism. Its specific character is threefold: imperialism is monopoly capitalism; parasitic, or decaying capitalism; moribund capitalism. The supplanting of free competition by monopoly is the fundamental economic feature, the quintessence of imperialism.” (Lenin, 1916, p1). He argued that imperialism was the evolution from competitive capitalism into monopolistic/oligopolistic capitalism as corporations merged and outgrew their domestic markets, spreading across the globe in search of new markets and territories to exploit. Lenin defined his theory of capitalism in five points: “… 1) the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive role...

...with kids today?” Amy Goldwasser discusses the issues this generation of kids. Goldwasser makes some logical arguments of the benefits of technology in the lives of kids. She touches on the emotional aspect of kids and how social technology plays a part in their lives. Goldwasser started her article talking about some studies and quotes on some of the problems with this generation’s children. She also talks a bit about the fact that this is the first generation in human history to grow up with technology.
Goldwasser starts her article by talking about a multiple choice survey for teens conducted by the Common Core organization, it stated that young people are living in ignorance of history and literature and that kids know that dates and historic names will always be available on the internet. Goldwasser appears to know teens very well and understands their lifestyle. She does not seem to be against the internet use by the American teenager. We can conclude that she is familiar with the internet and does not see it as a corrupting force and perhaps Goldwasser is probably familiar with teens, maybe she has some teenage children of her own, or at least writing for teens. Goldwasser may believe that teens should be defended from the implications of society. Goldwasser does not seem to view the internet, as good or evil but simply a means of communication that so many teens these days use to express...

What are some of the
issues that arise in an OD
consultant-client
relationship and how do
you prevent and solve
same.
Claudine Benjamin

November, 2014
The consultant in the OD consultant-client relationship is expected to provide the client with
professional expert advice in a specific field by assisting the organisation in an objective manner
to identify, analyse and, upon request, assist in implementing solutions to specific problems.
There have been several schools of thought on the various models of consultation that exists
for clients. Schein (1990) identified three broad categories as the purchase of expertise, process
consultation and doctor–patient. The purchase of expertise model suggests that clients are
looking for the consultant to provide independent perspective to bear on specific challenges
hand. Here, there is no expectation to focus on the client relationship per se but to provide
expertise in a detached manner. The doctor-patient model says the consultant focuses on using
a diagnostic approach to examine the client organisations problems. Using distinct experience,
knowledge and diagnostic abilities, the strategic organisational issues are identified by the
consultant, who focuses on building strong relationships and developing trust between client
and consultant. In the process consultation model, Schein suggests that the consultant is a
facilitator and the client actually provides much of the...

...“What’s the Matter with Kids today?"
Do you think teenagers today always being on the internet will help develop them into becoming deeper thinkers or better writers later on in life? According to Amy Goldwasser, author of the article, “What’s the Matter with Kids today?” she states that more teenagers today would rather sit and play around with their electronics than do homework for school and that electronics seem to be taking over their lives (667). When teenagers seem to be more interested in their electronics such as the internet and texting, than they are with their school work and doing homework, Amy Goldwasser states that with having access to the internet also may make teenagers become deeper thinkers, and also may help them become better writers (669). For example, in agreement with Amy Goldwasser I have used the internet to obtain historical information and images for a high school social studies project. Just last week, my brother used the internet to download a copy of President Obama's State of the Union speech before it aired on television. Lastly, by using the internet, it helps strengthen children's typing skills and vocabulary skills.
I have first-hand experience with how the internet has been beneficial to school work. For example, in my high school Social Studies class, I had to do a lot of historical projects, and one project I selected to work on was about...

...China: “What Are They Listening To Today?”
Music in China has gone through many changes since it opened its doors to the world and embraced globalization. With the influence of modern technology, western music has had a big impact on the ever-changing music industry in China. With the addition of modern western instruments, traditional Chinese ensembles have been able to branch out of their classical molds be adding new sounds and musical concepts. An example of this mix of modern and classical instruments can be heard by listening to a group called the Twelve Girls Band. This compilation of traditional Chinese instruments with western instruments and melodies creates a fusion of world music with endless possibilities. (http://library.thinkquest.org/20443/modern_music.html)
While Instrumental music has been able to keep many traditional sounds and melodies, popular vocal music has turned toward adapting western rhythm and harmony to Chinese lyrics. An example of this can be heard by listening to a Chinese Pop (C-Pop) band Called Lollipop F. As popularity of these new C-Pop bands emerges, some Chinese music critics are somewhat skeptical about the future of the Pop music scene and lack of artistic integrity.
In relative terms, few truly impressive or memorable songs have been penned since the year 2000. Pop music seems to have become a form of fast food. One day people would be fascinated by...

...“What India Needs today”
In the most famous speech of our 1st Prime Minister Late Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, the “Freedom At Midnight”,
he quoted :
“ Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly
or in full measure, but very substantially.
At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.” - unquote.
Good Morning to one and all gathered here!
As a proud Indian, it gives me great sense of feeling to re-iterate these words of Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru!
From the phase of being a Golden bird to that of being under colonial rule which exploited her to the worst and yet
again building herself back to the days of glory, India has witnessed inumerous Histories.
From time immemorial, India has always been the eye attraction for all. From the Aryans & Dravidians to the Persian
Invaders, from the Mughals to the Britishers, everyone had their own story in shaping India for their dreams.
As we prepare to enjoy 64th year of Independence we owe a lot to those silent souls whose tears, sweat, and blood
made us today again to stand in the realms of glory.
Since Independence, India has planned well and implemented effective programmes that led to a major development
of the country at a fast pace. The Governments which came in power after Independence continued to focus on
development at all levels, starting from development...

...events as access to information is made available like never before in the history of man. All our advancements into areas such as medicine, agriculture, industry, still leave us asking what is still wrong with the world. A movie by Mr. Shadyac explored what is wrong with the world but ended up discovering what is right. The questions surrounding the state of humanity that have been posed recently are not just by Mr. Shadyac. Countless philosophers and thinkers of our time have explored our age of anxiety and many have shared their insight. The movie, “I Am”, is a great piece of curiosity that is presented in simple terms so every individual can easily grasp the message. “I Am” is provoking by showing us how we have come to be, why we have come to be where we are, and lends us insight into what can happen and what we should consider as we move forward. Many religions deal with these questions of significance and security of the future. Mr. Shadyac decided to seek out his own answers to these questions and not continue to follow what we have been told by religion or otherwise.
Mr. Shadyac is not a philosopher trained at any university or by any professional means. He was a comedian that had achieved a level of fame that provided him with wealth to live luxuriously and comfortably. He questioned what “it” all meant. This led me to think that he is not just like any of the...
